The IDF confirmed on Friday morning that the hostage remains released on Thursday belonged to Ariel and Kfir Bibas. However, the third body “was not that of Shiri Bibas, and no match was found for any other abductee. It is an anonymous body without identification,” the military stated.
“This is a very serious violation by the Hamas terrorist organization, which is required by the agreement to return four dead hostages. We demand that Hamas return Shiri home along with all our hostages,” the military added.
Ariel and Kfir Bibas were brutally murdered in November of 2023 by terrorists in captivity, forensic findings and assessments of professional officials found, as per the Israeli military.
The bodies of Shiri Bibas and her two sons were meant to be returned on Thursday morning according to an understanding between Hamas terrorists and Israeli authorities.
Shiri, Ariel, and Kfir were also among the 33 names listed to be released from Hamas captivity under the first phase of the Gaza ceasefire-hostage deal, but it was only revealed on Tuesday that they were not alive.
